administered to the jury at
precisely O'Clock. As soon as it had
been taken by the jurors Judge Barrett
brought up the question of Sharpe's
commitment. He said he did not
want to endanger the defendants life,
and after some discussion it was de-
cided to have squad of deputies guard
the prisoner in his own house. The
Judge asked Sheriff Grant not to lock
Sharpe up, but the Sheriff maintained
that he did not care to be responsible
for Sharpe's safe-keeping unless he
was locked up. He said Sheriff Bren-
nan had been jailed for allowing Harry
Genet to escape and he did not care to
run a similar risk, although Mr.. Sharpe
was willing to indemnify hic2 for
any risks of this nature that
he might run. It twas finally decided
however, that in accordance with
Sharpe's proposal that an adequate
force of deputies should be detailed to
hold him. Three men were assigned
to that duty. The hours for the sit
ting of court during the trial were
fixed at from 10 a. In. to l p. M, and

PROBABLE DOUBLE MURDER.
LOUISVILLE, June IA special to
the Evening Times from Lexington,
KY, says news reached here this morn

Rowan County. Last night as Ex-
Sheriff William Ramey and his son
Henry, the latter "a years of age, were
riding from Morehead to their home
in the country, they were shot
from ambush and probably fatally
wounded. 1t is not known who the
parties were. Ramey and his son were
not members of either of the Roman
County factions lately, though they

THE CORA LEE MURDER TRIAL.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, June 15.-There
was an increased attendance at the
Cora Lee trial to-day. The court
opened with Mis-. Malloy on the stand.
She first corrected some of her dates of
yesterday by reference to small diary,
and then the defense cross-examined
her. She said she had been engaged in
eyangelistic and prison work fourteen
years, preaching to cOnvicts and help
ing eX-cOnvicts to get employment. She
had secured situations for 300 eX-cOn-
victs. When asked about how long
she had known Cora Lee and her
children she became conSidera-
bly, affected, lard said it was not true that
her husband had obtained a divorce
from her. She got a divorce from him
and the custody of her son Frank.
Did you have his custody at the time
he was drowned?" asked Attorney
Howell. She here broke into violent
sobs and answered yes" She said
Cora and Sarah had always been on
the best of terms, and she was on good
terms with both, never an unkind word
passing between them. She had never
known Cora to be guilty of any i'm
proper conduct with Graham. Witness
would have been quick to check
any such conduct, as quick with Sarah
as with Cora. When Cora and Graham
were married she believed he was di-
vorced from Sarah, and sent a copy of
the Springfield Herald containing the
notice to Sarah, believing it
was right she should know it. She re-
lated the details of Graham's
pretended trip to Indiana in a
way W SlidO IlC WIS dC-
ceiving everybody connected with the
affair. David Anderson said he was
at the MOlloy house prior to the find
ing of the body and saw coil of rope
and a muddy pair of boots in a corner.

on the farm told about Cora'S trip in a
spring wagon the night of September
so, 1885 and Sarah a. West said she
and her husband were camping on the
road between Springfield and the

man drive by in a Springfield wagon.

knew that some of the inmates were
